what will we see this week? >> guest: this week the house will take up a bill that would repeal all of the health care components of the two pieces of president obama's health care law and that bill is expected to pass the house and is also to be expected to go nowhere once it reaches the senate where of of course majority leader harry reid and the democrats are in control. there may be a push by some senate republicans to get a vote on repeal or at least a vote on repeal of the provisions that were called into question by the supreme court about the tax penalty and chief justice roberts calling the mandate a tax, given some new fire to people trying to appeal back, although that similarly isn't expected to go very far in the senate. >> host: let's get to the phones and hear what bill's essay. a democratic color in chicago, illinois. good morning, though. >> caller: hey. what i don't understand is how the republicans -- [inaudible] >> it again the senate will be gaveling in less than five minutes and we will hav

president obama's own campaign people argued a couple weeks ago that this issue of improving government management did not cost them a vote in 2012. that is right. but the fact that obama's people are saying it does not really matter to the electorate does not justify the lack of attention. the president is responsible under the constitution for executing every law faithfully. that means pulling a government that works. a government that works. president obama could have a wonderful achievement if he would pay attention over the next two years to the reform of the federal bureaucratic system. boring, absolutely. important, absolutely. it would be a real legacy if he did. host: paul light >> well, let me just give you all an overview of the briefings we've done and to the degree i know we're going to do. prior to this trip, secretary kerry had two briefings with senate leadership on the negotiations. he's briefing the committee tomorrow in a closed session. he's. updating members of congress by phone while he traveled. this includes, but is certainly not limited to because calls are ongo

establishment figures who bow down to obama, i'm not taking crab from anybody and he played on another great meme in american life which is politics are so awful, they don't do anything, they're so corrupt, why can't we run government like a business and he gave a map promise and i will tell you right now we are fulfilling that promise. we are running it like a business, the business is trump university. so, all of that enable trump to win the nomination and the frank reality that we had two candidates who were underwater in terms of public support and they gave him the conditions in which he could compete and then a lot of things that happen in the final two weeks, combined with what we now know was a big fat thumb on the scales of our political system , combined with some voter suppression which we now know made a difference in wisconsin and gave them the ability to win even though he did not win the popular vote. now, he won under the rules. that's the reality. those rules may need some rethinking. i will just talk for one minute about the electoral college and note that from the mo

that was three weeks into the administration. holbrook was a skeptic of the search and i think obama was a skeptic of the surge. obama could not say no to his generals so early in his administration and had campaigned on winning in afghanistan and holbrook could not say no to hillary clinton because she was the one who gave him that job she was his only friend in the administration. she was a hawk on this. he could not afford to contradict her and so he was quiet about this and did not say much. after the strategy review was over in the fall of zero nine obama called the richard i do not to hear your views and imagine holbrook sitting around that table not speaking but that is what happened when he lost his confidence. he never opposed the search publicly in the theater where it mattered at the white house. he also, as you said, wanted to negotiate because that was the other lesson he took from vietnam, not just that military force alone cannot win but that if you are in a political war you must be willing to negotiate and especi

he was under a cloud from the minute that barack obama appointed him the car czar because his former company, quadrangle, has been involved in a long-standing now sec investigation of financial shenanigans. there's also a very strange incident involving the production of a movie called chooch and a potential pay-for-play scheme in which rattner apparently had some dealings and promises with the directers relative involved with the movie. i did dedicate an entire chapter to the czars because i think this is one of the most troubling aspects of the administration. every republican and democrat administration of recent memory has had czars. we had a drug czar, homeland security czar, etc. but iteally is unprecedented the scope and the breadth of the czars that barack obama has appointed. and by the blogosphere's count there may be up to 44 of them now who have been installed by presidential authority. and in many cases they're completely superfluous. we have a secretary o housing anurban development, why do we need an urban czar? a lot of people don't even know we have him. we have a se
